Campus Construction Update for March 1 - 7

Half Acre Gymnasium Addition and Renovation (General contractor Groathouse Construction, Inc., Cody; scheduled completion of Phase I, east reconstruction/addition, March 2015; Phase II, historic west renovation, summer 2015) Half Acre Gym remains open and accessible via the west entrance. The day-lot parking area and roadway immediately east of Half Acre Gym is closed. Temporary day-use parking has been established in the lot east of the Wyoming Union.

Construction and staging areas north, south, and east of the existing building have been established and are closed to all vehicular and pedestrian traffic, except that which is construction related. Access to Prexy's Pasture from the east Wyoming Union parking lot between Half Acre and the Wyoming Union is closed until further notice. Please use alternate routes through the Wyoming Union or between the Union and Coe Library. Heavy truck traffic, including construction materials transport, concrete trucks, and other haulers, will be frequent on Willett Drive west of 15th Street and along the perimeter of the Wyoming Union parking lot. Temporary traffic controls and signs are either in place or will be established as needed by specific site activities.

Phase I east reconstruction/addition construction continues to proceed toward completion. Interior activities remain focused on finishes in all areas. Drywall finishing, specialty plaster, priming and painting, ceiling systems, tile and specialty flooring, casework and building systems work are progressing on all floors. Exterior building finish work--primarily stone and brick masonry-- is nearing completion on the north elevation. Specialty building equipment, including climbing wall/pinnacle components and HVAC units, are in process toward final installation. Building HVAC and specialty systems are in varying stages of start-up, testing and verification.

Pedestrian pathways north of Half Acre Gymnasium between Prexy's Pasture and Willett Drive remain open; however, the continuing construction in this vicinity will result in increased congestion. Willett Drive west of 15th Street and south of Wyoming Hall has reopened to normal traffic. Site improvement work along the south perimeter of Willett Drive will continue. Site improvement work will impact portions of the parking lot east of the Wyoming Union through early March. Normal vehicular access to the parking lot will remain open; however, construction work along the north perimeter of this lot will require some temporary detours in that area. Temporary traffic controls and signs will be established as needed by specific site activities. Please observe all posted traffic control, construction signs and temporary flagging in the affected areas.
